general problems of the 2013 Chevrolet Cruze

When I accelerate my rpm goes up but car dosent move as speed says and takes for me to let off the gas to speed up , and my steering when I turn it pulls away n it keep popping up service traction and going off.

Coming home from grocery shopping the night of sept 3, 2023 the radio kept turning off then coming back on. I was on the highway about 20miles from home radio still turning on and off about every 5mins (go black/blank then light back up) and I had felt when I would accelerate it would as I would slightly go up hill. Once I jad got about 4miles from my house the radio went off once again and dash warning light said "stabili trak" and head lights had went off then came back on again. I just was grateful I was not to far from home since it was dark out and the lights were now turning off too. The next morning (sept 4, 2023)since I did not have another vehicle and my son needed to get to football practice, I drove down the lane of my driveway and the dash warning light kept flashing, the window warning light said turn window on (so I rolled it back up and it turned off), radio kept turning on and off relentlessly, vehicle kept shutting off on me while driving before I even got down my driveway which is about 200 feet. I starred it back up and returned home. I made phones calls to drip it off in sussex NJ at service center where I had bought car as someone followed me(I did not have any problems the hour drive there/40miles) left a message on the voicemail regarding issue, checked to see of recalls though wasn't any. It was not safe to drive the way the car was, just with the only 1 warning dash signal in the middle of driving and headlights stop working them start to couldve caused accident then car turned off while I slowly drove down my driveway doing 7mph as well and I had my son in the car too. Very scary especially driving at night and that happens without much of a warning at 1st.

Loss of power when driving.

The stablic tract, the engine, the engine slows down, the power steering, the engine module has blowed I have had problems with the car day 1, I bought from jda automotive on garners ferry road. I have been taking car to Chevrolet in columbia,SC harbison . They repaired recalls but soon as repair they send a signal to car to tear up . The car come to complete stop causing me to need neck brace it also is tearing up the thread on tires. And people are blowing horn and also hitting me in back everywhere I go I have to use emergency blinking lights.

The oils is leaking is this vehicle . . And how it was explained is that the oil is also leaking into the turbo . . Which is causing oil to basically be pushed out instead of air being brought in for the car to go the correct speed and the car is undriveable.

The last few days I have been getting messages on my dash with errors such as �service traction control/service stabilitrak�. Took my car to the dealership for a diagnosis check and was told nothing showed up. However, this morning while on my commute to work, I was driving on the highway when all of a sudden my car decelerated and I got the message �engine power has been reduced/service traction control/service stabilitrak� and my check engine light came on. Because of this, I was forced to pull onto the shoulder of the road while almost being hit by other vehicles. This was extremely dangerous and scary for me because I have no idea what happened and it could have cost me my life, as well as others.

While driving the car on an off ramp the display panel showed 3 warning light, abs, traction control, and brake. The communication panel, where the speed and all communications about the car are given, then said reduced engine power and my car slowed down and my power steering stopped working. The panel then also said service stabilitrak and service traction control. It has happened more than once since I bought the vehicle and the dealer replaced the the ecm a few years ago and it hasn't fixed the issue as it still occurs. The most recent event happened last week.

Turned onto a major highway and a code came on and then it wouldn't accelerate, made some weird clanking noise, the noise comes and goes but is loud, rpms were high. Car has been well maintained oil changes every 3000 miles. Took to independent mechanic and problem was unidentified. Calling dealership in the morning.

While driving a few times car has stopped on me and coukd have caused an accident while I was in motion car just ceased.

The chevy eco Cruze has been giving me problems from the start. I was driving with the ac on and came to a signal light when the ac shuts of & comes back on. Also at the signal light I thaught I had gotten a tap from the back from another vehicle because the car jerked. Turned out no car behind me but car still jerks forward with foot all the way down on brake pedal. Next if I'm driving and slow down to make, let's say a left hand turn once I make the turn the car is sluggish as if it has trouble picking up speed. Happens all the time from a stopped position or if I slow down it takes for ever to pick up momentum. Making it scarey to merge or just be on the road. Also if I turn the radio up the lights will die or fade so I've replaced the alternator but it still does it. Ive checked connections wires you name it.

Ok so I needed a new car and went and ended up at a nice looking used car lot and financed a 2013 chevy Cruze lt. Since purchasing the car. (at this moment I've only had the car for 23 days) I had the car looked over by my mechanic and everything looked good and fine. And since day 1 these are the recalls that have been made on this vehicle but not for my VIN but is happening with the car in order from when first noticed. First I was stopped at a red light and the car jerked forward and honestly scared me as it felt like I had just been hit by the car behind me. ( which wasnt the case as I got out to check). Well then after a few days im on the interstata and decided to use the speed control, at first it was just like you would expect it to be but after not even 5 minutes the car starts acting like in tapping and releasing the gas and will not stop unless speed control is turned off or stopped. So then I run over a nail and go to replace the tire and the mechanic looks over the car again and bring an oil leak to my atttention from the oil pan and shown visible oil on the gasket. (already under my limited dealer warranty). So since then I have checked the oil every day just to be sure im not running low and it wasnt low. Well like a week later I make a drive I have actually made in this car about 6 times already to have lunch with a friend and when I get there turn the car off and then the friend is 10 min away so I restart the car for the ac. Didnt have the car back on for 2 min and the car started beeping with engine overheat warning. Turned the car off and popped hood to check and from the overheating I guess there was pressure on the hose it just popped the hose from the clamp and coolant went every where. Had been away from the car and car was cooled and added more coolant to it. And everything is fine. Well then the next night out of no where the head gasket blew.

Car looses speed can't give it gas has no pull! once you take it out of gear and put back in drive, works fine. Lights flicker on and off, on radio. Bought car in February with 49. 000 miles on it drove to store came back out of store car was completely dead! made no sound, checked battery everything, 5 min later started rite up. This car does not feel safe to me, I wish I could return it.

When driving the car it loses power we had it put on a computer to diagnose the issues and its the turbo. However ive seen there is recalls for this. We have bought this car used with only 54,000 miles on it. We had one recall fixed already that the dealership we got it from was once fixed because of this issue. However I don't believe that and now im not believing this was fixed either. We have had nothing but issues with this car and its getting ridiculous.

I was driving my car on city street when all of a sudden, it lost all power. The car slowed down and I was stuck in a turning lane at a busy intersection.

I was driving on the interstate and the car lost all power in a very remote part on the interstate. This was at 9 o'clock pm on a Sunday. The car would not accelerate past 5 mph. Had to take the battery connectors off to clear the codes and then was able to slowly drive home. Could not go more than 50 mph or the engine would jump and the car would decelerate. Again, I was on I-10, at 9pm, 6 hours away from home. When I got back to town, I took the car to get serviced and when I got the car back the first time, I pulled out into traffic and the car still would not accelerate. Took the car back to the dealership and when they said it was ready for pickup, the check engine light came back on. Left the car at the dealership to get serviced again. Picked up the car this past Saturday and when I went to drive it on Sunday, the check engine light came back on. Will be dropping the car off again at the dealership after work.

3/22 -- on my way to work (a brief 5-mile drive), the �check engine� light came on and a warning about the stabilitrak system appeared on my dashboard display screen. The engine power was automatically reduced, and my car would not go beyond 25-30 miles per hour. Fortunately, I had exited the highway and had just turned left onto a surface street. At the time, it was raining, but not heavily. This was the first time that I had started my car that day, so the engine was fresh. I was able to make it to work; however, when I left work a couple of hours later, the �check engine� light and stabilitrak warning were still displayed. I drove straight home. 3/23 -- when I started my car, the �check engine� light and stabilitrak warning were still displayed. I ran a couple of errands around town, and nothing changed. I decided to �rest� my car for a day or two while I researched the situation and figured out a plan. 3/25 -- when I started my car, the check engine light was still on, but the stabilitrak warning was gone (I. E. , my dashboard display appeared as it normally would, except for the �check engine� light). After I had driven my car to make a couple of stops around town, the stabilitrak light came back on. 3/26 -- there were no warning lights displayed at all when I started my car; I was able to drive my car around town during the morning with no warning lights coming back on. 3/27 -- when I drove to work, the �check engine� light and stabilitrak warning were not on when I started my car; however, they did came back on just as I arrived at work (about 5 minutes after I had started my car). For safety reasons, regardless of whether the warning lights are displayed or not, I have taken care to drive only when I absolutely need to, only on surface streets, and with my speed at or below 25 mph. This is obviously not sustainable long-term.

I have two complaints on my vehicle, 1. Several times the vehicle went into a loss of engine power mode where it was in an idle position with no ability to accelerate, the display showed loss of engine power, no stabiltrack and check engine light. The vehicle would transition to a loss of power mode on the main road, I had to turn the engine off, wait about 60 seconds and restart, my power was restored, this happened on 3 occasions. 2. The second complaint is regarding the low coolant level, I brought the vehicle to a certified dealer and they put the coolant system under pressure and detected no leak, they added coolant since it was very low and asked me to leave the car with them for a day or two and suggested it may be the radiator. I refused and asked them to add a dye to the system that would indicate the leak path and I would return the next day, they refused.

The vehicle has always and continues to not change gears smoothly. This occurs more at low idle speeds where the car changes from 2nd to 3rd to 4th to 3rd to 4th as if it doesn't know what gear it wants to be in. I have taken the vehicle to the dealer 3 times and they have told me that since there are no lights coming on the dash, there is no fix. I have been told by the service department this is happening in all chevy's with the 6 speed transmission. This is becoming increasingly dangerous as it is now doing it at all times in all gears. I bought the car new and have not been satisfied since the 2nd month of ownership. If chevy can't come up with a fix, why not a new computer, isn't customer satisfaction something american car makers should be striving for???.

In April of 2013 my 2013 chevy Cruze shut off while attempting to drive off from a red light that just turned green, as soon as I stepped on the gas pedal the car just shut off. There were no other vehicles behind me so I immediately tried turning the car on but I had to put it park then start it again and continued en route and did not think anything of it. This happened twice within the next few months. The fourth incident I had a car full of family member and we were getting on the freeway on ramp slowing to come to a stop when the light turned green so as soon as I stepped on the gas pedal the car shut down and I had no control and was almost hit from behind luckily there was no car in the lane over so the truck behind me swerved into the next lane and I once again put the car in park started again and immediately called the dealership and took the vehicle into the dealership. I was told by the service department a few weeks later that they figured the problem was a low octane gas and I just needed to start using chevron only and they would give me $250 in chevron gas cards. I refused to pick up the car because I already only used chevron gas in the vehicle since I purchased it in December 2012 with only 3 miles. After 2 months of arguing back in forth about them not having a fix for the car I returned the rental and purchased a different vehicle elsewhere and filed a complaint with gm which also gave me the run around about the vehicle being fixed when it wasn't ever worked on to this day they have the car and I am now in collections and continuing this headache with gm. They said its not a recall but I have spoken to several other people including the rental company that has had the chevy Cruze shut off on them as well.

My sisiter and I rental a car it stop on the interstate,we was stuck from 830pm until 530am,no help from budget.
